And maybe that's the depressing thing about the universe - it doesn't love or hate us, it's just indifferent about us. At least if it hated us, it would know we existed... Part of me feels indifference is worse than hate...<BR/><BR/>And nope - ignoring things will generally not make them go away - and sometimes, like with the dishes, it gets harder to clean things up...<BR/><BR/>I wish life were easier for you, Carla... We're blessed with all of the problems that every "normal" person has - but there are also a lot of other things racing around in our tiny minds that others are not always blessed with - like "this disease is going to kill me" - like "will I fall madly in love before it does" - like "will someone fall madly in love with me regardless of all the baggage I'm carrying" - like "do people truly understand what I face every morning when I get up..."<BR/><BR/>I don't know that life, or the universe, is fair or unfair, full of love, hate or indifference... We all have different things on our plate - we all have some wonderful things, and some problems - and some of us seem to have more slop on our plates than others...<BR/><BR/>It's strength inside of us, and also the people around us, that make it easy or difficult to live with what life or the universe dishes out... I think you have pretty incredible strength, though you might not always feel it's there... I hope you can gravitate towards the people who make it easier to deal with all of the things on your plate...<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/><BR/>SteveBreathinStevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13425167024998690437noreply@blogger.com
